i've warmed to Plan B quite a lot actually recently. Oh and i quite like SFG but only because I literally bumped into the lead singer in London, who is very cute, and he went "oh excuse me" in such a charming manner that I dribbled down his trousers.

2009 was a simpler, more innocent time...JustinE Bieber was still but a zygote (or a newborn at most), and Taylor Swift seemed like the little country songstress who could (not the repetitive country diva who could and then did and was then crammed down our throats relentlessly for a year and then stole Lady Gaga's grammy's (what's the plural of "grammy" anyway -- I know the apostrophe isn't right, but I can't bring myself to go with "grammies")).

Crucially, 2009 also seemed like it really should have been the start of a long and successful career (i.e. greater than 6 months) for the Noisettes. Such is life.

It's also mildly ridiculous that it's this song which has got Scouting for Girls to number 1. Like them or not, their previous singles (I'm thinking specifically of "It's Not About You" are much stronger and are at least a bit more playful than this turgid number :(
